Really Useful Strumming Techniques (DVD)

RUST DVD

Really Useful Strumming Techniques is designed for anyone that struggles with rhythm guitar. It starts at the very beginning, explains the basic theory and focuses on eighth note rhythm patterns, ties, picking out the bass notes, the muted strum as well as whole heap of handy hints (on plectrums, using a metronome, muting unwanted strings etc.) to get your rhythm playing solid and tight. It covers 20 popular and useful patterns, and gives you a chance to play along with each one.

I think this is my best DVD to date, and I hope you will like it too.

Solo Blues Guitar - Volume 1 (DVD)

Solo Blues 1

Solo Blues Guitar Volume 1 contains three original arrangements of a 12 bar blues in E, using a solo fingerstyle style.

Each song teaches on a different technique with each tune. Great sounding songs by themselves - no need for accompaniment! The 3 tracks are all new and do not include the free sample shown on YouTube (this is where you find the TAB for that free one!).

This one is my most popular DVD.
